Using conversion factors, solve each of the following clinical problems:
- A nurse practitioner prepares an injection of promethazine, an antihistamine used to treat allergic rhinitis. If the stock bottle is labeled 25 mg/mL and the order is a dose of 12.5 mg, how many milliliters will the nurse draw up in the syringe?
- You are to give ampicillin 25 mg/kg to a child with a mass of 28 kg. If stock on hand is 250 mg/capsule, how many capsules should be given?

Students have asked these similar questions
A patient weighing 80 kg requires an oral daily dose of 12 mg/kg of drug D for 14 days. Drug D is available only as a suspension of 30 mg/ 2 mL. How much suspension (in mL) will this person use during this course of treatment? (You can assume that the patient is fully complaint and no spillage or loss in any other way occurs.)
An infant acetaminophen suspension contains 80 mg/0.80 mL suspension. The recommended dose is 15 mg/kg body weight. How many mL of this suspension should be given to an infant weighing 17 lb? (Assume two sig figs).
A student notices that her father (who is trying to lose weight) is drinking a lot of diet Pepsi with the artificial sweetener aspartame. The student has read that aspartame, at high doses, may be a carcinogen. She has read that the FDA recommends no more than 50.0 mg of aspartame per kg of body weight per day. Given that her father weighs 175 pounds, how many cans of diet Pepsi can he “safely” consume per day? (453.6 g/1 pound; 177 mg aspartame/can diet Pepsi)
